Zhou Hongyu, a female 4-dan player, beat Chen Haoxin 4-dan in the first game of the best-of-3 final. Will she repeat the achievement of Yu Zhiying in 2014 by winning this mixed gender tournament?
Here is an interesting position in the game:
White cannot capture the three black stones because of the bad aji at 'a'.

Re: Today's Chinese Xinrenwang final
Zhou Hongyu won game 2 of the final over Chen Haoxin 4p and won the Xinrenwang with a score of 2:0. She was also promoted to 5p by gaining enough points using a certain formula during a span of 31 games(CWA's new promotion rules since Jan 2016). Born in 2002, Zhou became the youngest female 5p of the CWA. She is the second female player to win a domestic mixed gender tournament. Yu Zhiying won the same tournament in 2014 by beating Li Qincheng 2:1 in the final.
